Zybex Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Hi. I'm try to find some software for make EPROM images, from atari executable files. (For making a multi-cart for example). I make some convertions from .xex to .bin but only in older games like kaboom!, megamania ,etc. My final objective is make a cartridge with montezuma's revenge , archon and some cool games. For this mission i need : - Emulator - Files of the games - Bank Switch systems explaination (needed) But if you know a software for do this automatically....

ZZTOP SOFT Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I own 4 kinds of software (loaders) for making homebrewed x-in-1 cartridges. The first one released by Prisma Soft in 1990, the second one by Turbosoft in 1993, the third one by WillySoft (2003) and the last is a brand new system. But you have to make your own investigations to achieve the goal. And try to rule the world ZZT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zybex Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 Thanks for the info. I'm working in a perl version of an "beta" cartridge image creator. At this moment, i'm recolecting info about Bankswitch methods, and possible conflicts between games and banksw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZTOP SOFT Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 A friendly tip: Each system have a different (similar but not equal) bank switching. Take this in mind, center your atention in one system and work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zybex Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 Thanks for the tip I'm working in a PERL version of "cartridge creator" with support up to 64 KB. The main problem at this moment is Windows, but in a few weeks i expect to have FEDORA fully functionally. At this moment XL/XE it's not my priority, i want to make the system for the 2600 first, for an important reason...2600 only uses cartridges. In a flea market i find some rare "multi"cartridges for 2600 and the system is less complex than XL/XE Cartridges. Before Christmas i want to have the software ready for use. My only limitation at this moment is information about bankswithching methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhelm Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Zybex: AFAIK, there are different bank-switching methods in the 2600. I suggest you to take a look at the 2600 to make yourself sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
